"stubbornly, obstinately pining his years away"

that pathetic man. everyone failed to see his sorrow and pain. his attempts to tell them how much help he needed from the ones he deemed important fell on deaf ears. THEY IGNORED HIM. he is just a pathetic old man. thats what he reckons they think. Help came, but not from anyone he hoped it would come from. Sad. thats what it is. Perhaps he's just a worthless rut that people take for granted. Perhaps, everything was simply an illusion he manufactured for himself; all those pretty pictures. Perhaps things would turn out better.

Perhaps he is just a pathetic old man, hoping, waiting and believing for something that never existed. Perhaps, he should just lie down, close his eyes, and draw a final breath.
